The Student Lyrics

Album: Eleven

I am the shepherd and you are the sheep

I am the lord and you are the slave

I am the god and you are the servant

I am the teacher, you are the student

And this is the results of your final exam

On your knees you came crawling to me

And begged that if I could be teaching ye

Now you hear and hear but you refuse to listen

All the while you lock your mind in a prison

Rather walk in front through life alone

Than walk next to the student like a sheep

Rather walk in darkness and live

Than walk in light into eternal sleep

Rather walk in front through the world without others

Than being pulled through hell again and again and again and again

Rather walk in front through life alone as shepherd

Than only have a sheep to call my friend

You cannot see, neither can you understand

Can you not think then you must walk

Can you not walk then crawl you must

In silence, no whispers, no cries, no talk

You cannot understand your surroundings might

You alone are the cause of my spite

You let your mind become weakened by safety

And then expects your life to show you mercy

Unlike you, I see power inside

You only see your worth on the outside

But oh, there is nothing as you are nothing at all

And it is only your fault as you are causing your downfall

The people around you are the poison in your blood

The pain in your body and the voices in your head

I will much rather stand alone and loose

Than act like a lunatic on the loose

I hear your cry but your tears are null

It is you who cut you with a blade so dull

See my eyes I am crying for thee

I cry because you’ve disappointed me

You didn’t understand that there was nothing I could do

There was no way I could save your soul without you

You crave and you want but you refuse to give

You didn’t allow your brain to live

Only you can resurrect it but it is too late

I only have this much time and I can no longer wait

I gave you all but you placed your soul on the shelf

I gave you a life but you killed yourself
